rscraft Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 The keybaord on the ORB doesn't work - or at least the letters don't work on the command line. Both sets of numbers work, and the letters work when renaming items (macro, submaster, cue, etc) - so I know it see the keyboard. OS Version 5.0.2.0 Software Version 5.4.0 Motherboard BIOS - MODBR131 Any ideas? thanx Russ Quote
Jon Hole Posted August 23, 2010 Report Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Russ, What are you trying to type into the command line? The command line will only let allowed syntax to be typed - which is via the front panel, or a number pad for channel numbers, cue times etc. Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control
rscraft Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Posted August 26, 2010 I assumed you could type any of the functions, things like: select stack n colour n record load <udk> <cue> etc. rather than pressing the function key. It sounds like the keyboard is only good for renaming objects (cue, stack, udk, etc). Quote
Jon Hole Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 It's not possible to type syntax such as that directly into the command line. The keyboard is an accessory to make functions such as naming cues a lot easier. Using the keyboard as you describe would take a very long time to complete functions that are very quick when using the front panel. The front panel is also a lot more accurate, as the desk knows what is coming and what is and isn't allowed at each point throughout the command line.

rscraft Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Posted August 26, 2010 Thanx for the Info and quick responses Jon, I can quit trying to make it work now . Quote
rscraft Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Posted October 18, 2010 If you're taking requests for feature adds to the next version of the OS, can you add command line entering via the keyboard to the list ? Being an old Unix admin, it's easier for me to type commands than try and find the button to make it work. thanx Russ Quote
Jon Hole Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 I've added this as issue ZOS-3187 - 'Command Line via Keyboard'. This means that it's on our database to be discussed and, if agreed, prioritised. Quote Jon Hole Global Product Manager, Systems and Control
